The Venetian Theatre

We saw Limitless at The Venetian Theatre a couple of months ago and were absolutely blown away! The show was incredible — high-energy, inspiring, and filled with talent from start to finish. One of the highlights was the appearance of Spidey as a special guest — his mentalism performance was jaw-dropping and had the entire audience in awe. It added such a fun and mind-blowing twist to an already amazing show. The theatre itself is beautiful — elegant with comfortable seating and great views from every seat. The sound and lighting were perfectly done, and the staff helped make the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Limitless was definitely one of the top highlights of our Vegas trip. We left feeling entertained, inspired, and already talking about coming back for another show. Highly recommend!

Saw Collective Soul here last night. Theater was only a five minute walk from the taxi drop off. Beautiful theater. Comfy seats and decent room in the aisles. Though we sat in the second to last row at the top, still had a great view of the band. Sound system was good without it being deafening. Staff was very polite and helpful. Glad they had an elevator to get to the top. Beware, the bathrooms are below the first floor and a long flight of stairs. Not sure if you can take the elevator to that level. There are bathrooms right before the entrance of the theater. We would definitely see another concert here.

We attended the Lindsey Stirling "Snow Waltz Tour" at The Venetian Theatre. This is an absolutely beautiful theater, and I wish I had taken more pictures of the inside. The seats are comfortable, the staff are friendly, and the food/drinks are affordable. I will definitely attend another show here in the future!

Saw Styx in concert during our trip and it was a delight! The theatre staff were helpful, the venue was big enough to feel spacious, but felt like it would be intimate from all seats. The architecture is great, and for being a smaller theatre it had great sound and effects! Overall it was a delightful night!

I’ve never had a chance to check out this place in over ten years of coming to Vegas. It started out as a venue for the phantom of the opera, but the acoustics didn’t work out so now it’s a bit unused. We had the Gundies event in the theater and I couldn’t have been more pleased. It easily accommodated and wowed almost everyone. Definitely a great spot for an event, or a show.

Located inside the beautiful Venetian Hotel. Easy to access from the strip. Perfect place to enjoy a concert. Looks somewhat like an opera house. Beach Boys performance was absolutely wonderful.

Absolutely amazing venue, small and intimate. No bad seat in the house, absolutely gorgeous as well. Sounds great. Highly recommend, and would return, the staff was very friendly and helpful as well.

Excellent venue. I know it's relatively new but it gives a lot of the grand old theaters a run for their money. Great acoustics and visibility. And REM and DJ Cummerbund were absolutely incredible.

First off. This theater is gorgeous! Beyond words. The decor is ornate and I really wish they'd bring back Phantom again. Second, the staff is super helpful and professional. Everything ran like a well oiled machine. No real food service other than basic drinks and snacks. But still a good selection and not too horribly priced. 10/10. I will definitely go see shows here that I like! Just seeing the theater itself was worth it. Seating was comfy, sound was impeccable and I don't think there is a bad seat in the house. The theater isn't huge, it's very intimate and romantic!

What a gorgeous theater. I wish I was here when Phantom of the Opera starring Sierra Boggess was here. If it's the same chandelier from that production, it's still here and it is glorious. Came here to see Chicago perform. Beautiful venue, comfortable seats, and great views.

Very nice venue. This used to be the Theatre for the Phantom of the Opera back about 15 or more years ago, a residency like the Cirque shows. Anyhow it's an oppulent place, reminds me of the theatres on Broadway. It's quite intimate, not too large with the orchestra section and a mezzanine. We recently went to the Earth, Wind, and Fire show and Sat on the first row of the mezzanine and it was great! Sound was great, it's not quite top notch but worth going to the concerts there Couple of drawbacks: 1) The bathrooms are located on the main level so if you're seated in the mezzanine, you'll have to go down the stairs. Do not take the elevators, it's a long wait. 2) Be prepared to pay $$$ for drinks!!!

Gayle, Erin, Jim, and I went to see the B52s last night at the Venetian Theater. This group has been around for 45 years and the age of the crowd mostly followed. An early question I have regarding Legacy bands is whether they still have it. In this case, absolutely! So did the audience, as many of us (including me) danced our asses off to the tunes of Private Idaho, Love Shack, and Rock Lobster. The opening act was a number of fun mashups by DJ Cummerbund. Near the end of his set, "Time Warp" (It's just a jump to the left And then a step to the right) rolled right into the main attraction. We sat in the first row balcony, of which our fellow concert goers were a little less "get up and dance" than the folks on the floor. That improved significantly as the 13 song set (plus 3 more during encore) continued into the night. Sightlines were good, as were the acoustics (albeit a bit brassy at times). And the lines for the merch afterwards were long. This solid show ended past our bedtime, but with our rock lobster-fueled energy, heading over to a nightclub (for more dancing) could have been an option. It was a great night out.

This is a very nice theater. The sound was great and I don't think there's a bad seat in the house. However, pay attention to the bartenders!!!! They will fleece you if you don't scrutinize the receipt. We stopped by the upstairs bar before the concert. Ordered 2 white wines and a beer. Admittedly, I did not check the total. I put it on my credit card and later found the charge was $75.83!!! I know prices on the strip are high. I live here, I'm well aware of it. But this guy added a $20+ tip for himself for pouring 2 cups of wine and opening a can of beer! Lesson learned. Again, real nice place, just watch out for the snakes.

Earth, Wind & Fire with 700+ geriatrics in the house! This was my first time at the Venetian Theatre. Inside is a cozy interior with only a little over 700+ seating capacity. There is an orchestra and a balcony section and not a bad seat in the house. The interior aesthetics and features are beautiful (Phantom of the Opera would be perfect in this theatre). The acoustics were great from where we were seated (front center at Section 2, Row Q). The distance between the rows were not tight and are spaced out nicely which can be cumbersome when you have people coming in and out (our seats were at the end of the row). The aisles were pretty wide for ease of flow of foot traffic. The ushers were very helpful in helping guests locate their seats. The Venetian Hotel/Casino was busy that evening with U2 also having a concert at the Sphere. We used VIP parking because we were already running late. We originally thought the theatre was close to the Sands Showroom where we watched Human Nature about 3x (FYI: they have since moved to performing at the South Point Showroom). Overall pleasant first time experience at the Venetian Theatre. Review #3221

Love this Venue. Very easy to get in and out of. Not a bad seat in the whole place. I've sat in multiple sections here for different shows and I've never been disappointed. Cashless theatre, so make sure you have your card if you want snacks and drinks.

I'd actually give it a 3.5 if I could. Don't get me wrong, it's a great theatre: intimate, comfortable seating, great acoustics, great views throughout. Saw the Styx show 1/27 and it was a fantastic show. What I did witness was what others had written in reviews about letting people from the back stand right in front of the stage and in the aisleways. I didn't have front row seats so it didn't affect my view, but had I paid a lot for front row seats as others had written about to see a favorite band I'd be pissed. Another complaint are the prices the bar is charging for the drinks at the theatre. My daughter paid $40 for her drink. Obviously things will be expensive in Vegas but that's ridiculous.

Did you know the Venetian Theatre was home to Phantom Of The Opera for six years before transitioning to concerts? Either did I.. I came here for the first time to catch the B52's concert. The Theatre is a tri-level space that is spacious yet keeps that intimate feel . The AC and sound system were both great. The seats were comfortable. They also have two large screens that are on either side of the stage great for the close up views. The ushers I dealt with were very polite and assisted in helping find the assigned seats . There are bars located on each level, but get ready to pay an arm and a leg. I paid $51 for two tall cans and a cup of ice. Better to just drink out in the casino before entering the venue. The only reason I'm knocking off one star is for the restroom location in the venue. It's horrible! Be prepared to take three flights of stairs down to the basement if you need the restroom. I was lucky to only need to go number 1 and it still took me 15 minutes to get back to my seat. They do have an elevator but you can imagine the line to jump on . It was faster to just take the shlep down the stairs

3.5* review....went for the Lewis Black comedy show and it was my first time in this venue. The theatre itself is very nice, smaller, so much more intimate than some of the larger theaters in town. Seating is comfortable and there is ample legroom in each row. The ushers were friendly and directed you to your proper seat. The sound was good for this particular show. Be prepared to be gouged at the bar however, two beers were $50 after the included tax and 18% gratuity!! If ever in this venue again that mistake will not be repeated...looking ahead there are some good concerts and comedy shows on the horizon so this place does a steady rotation...could see a return trip in future but will forego the bar next time....RECOMMEND

We came here on 5/10 for the B-52s show. Getting in is a breeze, so long as you have your ticket/app ready. Ushers were all courteous and helpful. Theatre is spectacular, beautiful. Accoustics were great, and sound was superb. Our show opened with a mashup artist, DJ Cummerbund, who was quite honestly, BRILLIANT. Masterful use of electronic audio manipulation and video. Funny as hell too. The B-52s were just a joy to watch. They often showed videos in the background from their historic 50 years of performing. Audio mix was superb. Drawbacks here - concessions were astoundingly expensive, with a forced 18% gratuity. They are unprepared to give accurate change if you use cash (seems illegal...but thats the way greedy casino operators are going). To boot, they provide cocacola and other softdrinks in lidless flimsy plastic containers. Dammit i'd rather just have an ice cold can! Lots of spilled drinks evident everywhere. Vegas doesnt care about plastic wasteage and its environmental harm. Bathroom - heard horror stories, I didnt have to use it. Also, theatre is showing some disrepair, 2 people a few seats away had their seats break loose and fell backwards. The B52s do not appear afterwards, sadly. We brought an album cover with us on the off chance they might sign it :( But i'll still come back if any of my other crustacean favorites show up here.

What a pleasant night out for a concert at a gorgeous venue! We went out to watch and hear Styx play live. This was our first time visiting the Venetian and the lovely Venetian Theatre and certainly will not be the last!!!!! Check in was effortless, and people actually escorted us to our seats. With one of us mobility impaired, the staff was super thoughtful locating more appropriate accessible seating that definitely did not disappoint! The seats had an unobstructed view of stage. Acoustically, the sound was perfect! Our seats were located very close to a food and beverage station. Outside beverages are not allowed, but it appeared as though there were several food and beverage stations dispersed around the venue. Kudos to the security personnel checking bags and using wands as patrons were entering the establishment. And kudos to all the friendly staff, the patient merchandise sellers and friendly concert goers and venue staff. One concert goer actually gave my fiancé a signed guitar pick! One gentleman who worked with Styx thanked us for attending and supporting the band. And lastly, thank you Styx and all involved in a raffle for a signed Tommy Shaw guitar with proceeds supporting military members in need. The venue was clean, which is a must have in my book. Architecture truly amazing! I learned that the Venetian Theatre was originally built to host The Phantom of The Opera. We most certainly anticipate attending future concerts here, especially considering how friendly, professional, and supportive towards those requiring wheelchair accessibility. We didn't use the restroom facilities, so I cannot comment on that.

Phenomenal experience! Acoustics were amazing at our Foreigner Venue. There simply is no such thing as a bad seat anywhere in this theater. It's very well designed with a lay out made to satisfy everyone than visits there.

12-21-24, just got out of final REO show, the show and sound was great , BUT the venue needs to monitor patrons, we had third row back from stage seats, the people in front of us left, people from 20 plus rows up thought it was ok to take there place, security notified and nothing done, IF YOU SELL ME A SEAT FOR HUNDREDS MORE THAN THE ROWS BEHIND ME. then allow them them to move forward and do nothing! Why do I have to pay for nice seats. Security asked if they were their seats, they lied! Security could have asked for proof of seats but did not! Not seeing a show again here, this is ridiculous!

This was my first time being at this venue. I am an avid concert goer. It was Friday night, and on a whim, I decided let's go see styx. I'm so glad I did. I paid for the cheaper seat very last row. I didn't mind because there was nobody behind me, so I could stand up. To me, there isn't a bad seat in the place. The sound was incredible. I have to give styx more than half that credit because they sounded incredible. When you walk in the venue, lobby. They have merch to one side. A regular bar and express bar on the other. The express bar sells just a few common drinks. Sodas were $6, I believe, waters too. Beers were like $20. We expect that. As you went upstairs, there were other bars on other floors. The bathrooms are a bit of a trek, not gunna lie. I would say parking wise we did have to pay $30 to park at Palazzo. Only because when they have concerts at the sphere, all those people park at Palazzo, so it makes sense. All in all, great time great views, great sounds, and not bad for a $ 55 ticket.

I came to the Venetian Theatre for a concert this past Friday night. The first time I have been to this venue. I was shocked at the opulence of it. I'm not sure why. The whole Venetian resort is all about opulence. Nevertheless, this was surprisingly nice. Especially considering the headliner of the evening was Weird Al Yankovich. Appearances aside, this was a great venue. It is big enough theatre to seat 1000+ people. Small enough, though, that every seat is a pretty good seat. Even where I was, the back row of the upper balcony. The acoustics were solid too. I could hear most everything clearly. Besides the design, decor and acoustics, the usher staff here were friendly and helpful. They directed people to their seats as needed. And I even saw them offer an older couple better seats in an open area closer to the stage. They took care of the patrons and helped things go smoothly from beginning to end. Not bad.

This theatre is pure joy! Every vintage artist I see here brings back the good old days. I am looking forward to seeing the B52's and reliving my rock lobster reincarnation! The quality of design of this facility and detail are unmatched. I just wish it's patrons would behave with a bit more respect. They can get a bit too drunk and bossy in an obnoxious way. Just spring for the ticket upgrade and you won't have to bother with the riff raff of it my darlings.

A beautiful venue with great sound and lights. Comfortable seating with good legroom. Very friendly and helpful staff. Ridiculously expensive snacks and drinks.

This is a good theatre to see a show. The staff was very helpful and the entrance process was seamless. This theatre is decorated very well and the seats are very comfortable. I saw Chicago in concert, and the concert was okay. They only song one of their popular song, the first hour of the concert. The horns, percussion and keyboards were excellent, but the playlist wasn't very good. Overall, this was a good experience.

We saw Styx here last night. We go to our fair share of old people rock concerts and I have to say Styx was awesome! This venue was bigger than a lot of Vegas venues and was very nice. They have a lot of fancy touches that other venues don't have. The big screens had a high quality picture and there was great camera work and lighting. Entry was easy and fast and the ushers were friendly. I would definitely come back to this venue for another old people concert.

Shame on you venetian! Take our mo ey and let us fend for ourselves! Why pay for a front row seat when I have to stand behind 3 people to see?

What a beautiful venue for the Daryl Hall and Todd Rundgren concert last night. Great seating, great acoustics, prices are high on food & drink but I love this theatre!!!!!!

I attended earth, wind & fire concert last night with my mother-in-law who is 80 years old. As soon as I walk in the guy that work there tells us to show him what section we are sitting at, and tells us to go all the way up the stairs to get to our seats. I am wearing prosthetic leg and again my mother-in-law is older and he could've told us to take the elevator. Had no idea there was an elevator until we got all the way to the top!

Had the best time watching Chicago live! Never been to this theater before and I loved it. It's actually a lot bigger than I expected. If you come for a concert or something be sure to come a bit early because it'll take a minute to find your seats. They have bars and concessions on every level and a convenient store right in the front. Only one bathroom in the main building but there's another bathroom right outside near the casino. All the staff is very friendly and helpful if you get lost. If you have the time, you have to give attention to the chandelier. It's absolutely beautiful.

We saw the B-52's, which were good, but this is not about them. I cannot say enough about this theatre. The employees are so very nice, it is perfectly cleansed the security is excellent. They do not let people run to the front and take photos, of which would block everyone else. It is a great place to watch a show.

A beautiful theater. We sat in the next to last row and still had a great view. The only flaw is that the only restrooms are located in the basement. That seems like a design flaw.

stunning architecture, luxurious ambiance, and top-notch entertainment offerings, making it a must-visit destination for theater enthusiasts and tourists alike.

Here's an archive of seeing Carly Rae Jepsen at a pre-covid time concert years back, we got great comp seats and she was great live.

Amazing venue. I am looking forward to seeing more concerts here. Be ready to walk or take elevators to make it to the restrooms. They are not close. Be prepared to walk a mile! Aside from that, everything was great sound and safe!

We came here for a concert last week and were impressed with the venue overall. Getting in was a breeze, as you were not treated like a terrorist with ridiculous screening procedures. The sight lines and acoustics for the concert were great, and we sat in the last row of the lower section of the theater. The steps leading up to the theater can be a pain in the ass, so keep that in mind if you are mobility impaired. My biggest angst was not only the absurd prices for beer ($20) and cocktails ($23), but the MANDATORY 18% gratuity and some BS service charge they added to the total bill. I reluctantly purchase a beer and one cocktail and they charged me $55. I questioned the total and was informed, quasi flippantly, of the gratuity being added. I was pissed, to say the least, as the "bartender" was nowhere near being amicable, in an attempt to "earn" a gratuity. Why would you be amicable, if it's a given you are getting tipped anyhow. What a pathetic joke this aspect was! No wonder there was NOBODY in line to buy drinks. So, ladies and gentlemen, make sure you pre-game beforehand and/or bring in a flask to indulge, unless you don't care about paying big bucks to get your buzz on. We would definitely watch another concert at this venue, as it was very nice but we will do the above noted pre-game and/or flask ritual the next time.

While the theatre is both beautiful and intimate, there needs to be a federal investigation in regards to the bar prices. I have lived in Vegas for 20 years, been to several night clubs and high end restauranst, but the cocktail prices here are ludicrous. On top of a $32 Vodka Soda, a 25% tip was automatically added to my total. Two Cocktails came to $80.88. When we voiced our concerns to the bartender, he said it was typical Vegas prices. I was just at the House of Blues for an event, and the prices were half of what I paid at the Venetian. I will never go to a show here again. Pre-game, sneak in booze, but never pay $40 of a Titos and Soda.

Attending a concert in Las Vegas, Nevada... Chicago is one of my favorite musical groups. I like their peppy beats and thoughtful lyrics. When I saw that they were having a three-week residency at the Venetian Theater, i booked seats right away. Unfortunately, other people had the same idea, so my seats were in the very last row of the theater. At least we were in the middle with a great view and excellent sound system! We parked for free at the Palazzo Hotel and walked over. We enjoyed looking at the Golden Year of the Rat decorations along the way. Staff were very cheerful and helpful. We found our seats easily with their help. The only thing that could be better would be the restroom situation. There was only one place to go nearby - all the way downstairs in the basement. The men's line was longer than the women's line! First time! Good thing the break was 20 minutes in between. Anyway, we had a great time! I wouldn't mind returning!

First time attending a concert here, beautiful theater, easy access in and out, sound system is a ten, decoration mesmerizing, highly recommend!!

Located inside the Venetian Hotel, this is an outstanding venue for live concerts! The acoustics are phenomenal and the seats are set so that even if the person directly in front of you is 6 feet tall, your view won't be impeded. Unless, of course, they're standing during the concert, which so many people do, without considering others. The seats are super comfortable, and probably some of the most comfortable I've experienced in any concert or theatre. The interior is also very grand. It isn't La Scala in Milan​. After all, you're inside The Venetian in Las Vegas​, but's impressive nonetheless, with ceiling frescos as well. Keep in mind that they are strongly encouraging that entrance into the venue be made with the QRC code from your smartphone​ instead of printed tickets. Also, each person should use their own QRC code from their smartphone. To do so, each person will need to set up their own account, which is what they're encouraging, in my personal opinion. I'd welcome the opportunity to return for another live concert. They have a lot of well-known​ performers here. Chicago, Anita Baker, and Jackson Browne will be performing here soon, just to name a few.

This theater is absolutely gorgeous. I had the chance to come to a show here recently and as much as I enjoyed the show, I enjoyed the being inside this gorgeous theater just as much. It's a midsize theater which I'm told holds around 1,500 people. It's luscious red seats and trim on the wall and that beautiful chandelier hanging from the ceiling. You're transported to the past here. I was fortunate to sit in row B on the right orchestra side so there was no row A so leg room was amazing. There was one security guard standing there watching over the audience. I do not remember seeing any metal detectors or security screening as I entered which is odd in this day in age. Elevators are on the bottom floor or you can use the casino floor bathrooms which probably are easier because using the elevator can be timely. The acoustics inside the theater were amazing. The staff was wonderful. The show was spectacular and I really can't wait to see something else there the next time I find myself in Vegas which I'm sure will be soon.

The theater is beautiful, the seating is spacious and comfortable, and the sound is a 10. It is laid out well and I don't believe there is a bad seat in the house. Minus two stars for not being very friendly to those with mobility issues. The bathrooms are located in the basement, 40+ steps down slick marble steps. The elderly were clearly having issues going up and down and I viewed one older lady wearing heals lose her footing and land on her rear. I overheard another lady begging an usher for another bathroom location as she said she recently had double knee replacements. After saying several times it was the only option, the usher reluctantly took her in another direction... maybe the employee area? When returning from the bathroom, both my teenage son and I tripped on a step leading to the next seating section. The one step was maybe 2+ inches higher than all the others and we both kicked in and fell forward catching ourselves even though all the lights were still on we did not notice it. We do not have vision or mobility issues and we were not drinking so just imagine if we did. We were seated very close to this location and saw this happen to others as well in the brightly lit area before the show started. Just below Section 8, row JJ. Once the concert started another man walking up tripped, fell forward with drinks flying and landed on his torso and face. People jumped up to help him and he was clearly hurt and stayed down for a bit. The lady sitting closest made the usher aware that she had also seen several people trip prior on the same step. Very sad and something that clearly should be addressed. I'm sure this happens at every event as I imagine the step has been that way since the Theater was built.

Show was ok, but the drinks sat on the sign by the bars $20 & when you order 2 drinks it would be??? $40 right? O wrong answer it was $54.00 they automatically added in a tip.. bartender would t had said anything except I told him I needed change for a tip, he said it's included. I've lived here for almost 34 years in Food & Beverage, on & off the strip..... since when does a venue add tip & then barely let you know it's included.?!?!?! Won't do that again & online says parking is $18 but had to pay $30 because the Sphere was opening that night !!!! Going out isnt inexpensive & fun anymore.... $500 + including dinner and the restaurant we ate at before the show pocketed my cash towards the bill & she put the entire bill on my debit card.... Bad experience for my anniversary... sorry but times sure have changed & not for the better.

Real nice theatre! This was our second time at the. Venetian Theatre. A few year back, we saw Phantom here. Last night, we saw the Chicago The Musical with Christie Berkley. Great show! Back to the theatre, beautiful interior. Very convenient for us as we were staying there. Cons for the theatre: - Seating is just okay. Could be cushier - Leg room was a bit tight. We needed to stand to allow people to pass - Close restroom were downstairs - Only 2 bartenders and a long slow line - Late arrivers (30 minutes) we're allowed to be seated during the performance. That's really bad form IMO This all said, we did have a nice experience and we would see another show here.

Saw my Beloved CHICAGO last nite. Robert,Lee,James and the other 7 Members were Phenomenal as Usual. What Talent and Musical Skills they still have after 50+ years together. Played all ( skipped a couple ) of their Numerous Hits ! Had Row D so we were about 10 feet from the Stage. Still Glowing from that Show. Best Concert so far this year. Have Tommy James, Eric Burdon and the WHO in the next 2 months. You gotta Love Vegas. No City has sooooo much GR8 Entertainment ! It ain't even close. The Theater is Classy, has Excellent Acoustics,and very Comfortable Seats with leg Room. Drinks = $$$ as all Strip properties are. During their 20 minute break ( needed it personally ) , i walked up to the 2nd tier. The view was pretty good. Parking is FREE, but it is a Looooooong walk to the Theater. It was worth it though. Overall 4.9 Stars.

Fancy first class resort. Everything you need in one place. Excellent location. Shopping and dining. Room needs a little updating but everything else is perfect.

Had a great time at the Styx concert. Can't wait until next month to see Foreigner Four. Nice venue. No bad seats.

Gorgeous venue!! It was built for Phantom of the opera years ago and back then named after that. It's so pretty with chandeliers and gorgeous suites. The seats are very comfortable and funny enough every seat (in the upper section where we were) has 2 cup holders lol. Only problem is that it got really cold at some point. Great sound and it was very pleasant to see Tony Bennett and his daughter here!

I was the B-52's show on the 21'st. I was only person not sitting down with their arms folded in the front row. it was Obvious that everyone else in my row was given their ticket. A bunch of business men who didn't seem to even want to be there yelled at me to sit down. They complained to the usher and must not have liked his answer because I wasn't told to sit. Then they sent the girl in their group to grab me indecently and grind on me. I told the usher that, "I was assaulted," and he dismissed me and told me, "I wasn't doing anything wrong, but if I pressed the issue I'd be escorted out." If I had done what she did to me I'd be in jail! The crowd the night before had better energy, but it was a good show and they sounded the best out of all three nights. SHAME ON THE USHER AND THE VENETIAN THEATRE FOR NOT HANDLING IT PROFESSIONALLY AND BEING THE LEAST BIT CONCERNED.

Got a notification on a Friday at about 2 pm that was offering free tickets to see Il Divo. Wait! World Reknowned Il Divo? Tenors? Simon Cowell's creation? Free tickets? I had to scoop up these tickets. Once I got all the details, I learned it was going to be in the Venetian Theatre at the Venetian. I went online to check out the theatre seating and I could see that this is a bigger theatre, which makes sense because this is Il Divo. First thing, Il Divo was fantastic. So about the Venetian Theatre. if you are self-parking, which it is free, the Venetian Theatre is located underneath the escalators from the parking structure. It is very convenient for a woman walking around in high heels. The lobby of the theatre is just a plain lobby. However, once you get into the theatre, it is magnificent. I learned during the show that this is the old Phantom of the Operat theatre. The theatre was designed to look like an opera house and it looks like there was no budget. They have real wood carvings, not plaster or styrofoam. There's leg room, especially for someone that needs to leave and come back in the middle of the show. Each seat has two cup holders in front of their seats. And because we were watching Il Divo, it made for a romantic evening. The Venetian Theatre is a venue that hosts different artists. If one of your favorite bands or performers will be at this venue, I recommend taking the opportunity to see them. Hopefully, your experience will be as wonderful.

Chicago February 24 2023. Beautiful gaudy Las Vegas venue. Great sound, helpful staff. Horribly overpriced beverages: twenty dollars for a beer or a drink plus automatic 18% gratuity and BS entertainment fee. Bring your own.

This review is long overdue, but I had to do one regardless and let everyone know how amazing the Venetian Theatre is. I was absolutely thrilled when Rascal Flatts announced that they would be heading back to Sin City for a mini residency, A Night To Shine throughout the month of October. I knew I had to see this iconic country trio live. My sister and I had center seats in the Mezzanine and they were fantastic. Although they were up top, we had a great view of the stage and the acoustics were just as good. To be honest, I don't think there's a bad seat in the house. Our seats were comfortable and we had enough space between us and the guests next to us. The Venetian Theatre is the perfect size. It's big, but not overwhelming, definitely a more intimate venue compared to elsewhere on the Strip. The paintings and décor are absolutely beautiful. The theatre itself almost reminds me of something you'd see in a movie, especially with the boxes on the side. I would highly recommend checking out a show here if you get the chance!

Pros: great medium-sized venue! I've seen several shows here, including Earth, Wind & Fire, Steely Dan, and most recently, Kelly Clarkson (by Inspire, a well-ran charity event held annually at Venetian). The staff/theatre ushers have always been super friendly and accommodating. The way the theatre is set up is ideal for an acoustic or soft rock set. The audio system is perfect. If not for the great artists they host, I'd come back just for being a classy, organized establishment. I even got a free upgrade to 4th row for one show (maybe in collaboration with LiveNation to fill up close seats, but generous nevertheless). Conveniently located relatively near the parking garage, right next to the escalators. Cons: zero security, which can be a concern. Unless they had invisible metal detectors I was unaware of. Plenty of lines though, which never made the wait longer than five minutes.

Beautiful, ornate theatre with great site lines and good sound. It is small enough that there really isn't a bad seat in the house. We saw John Fogarty here and he sounded clear, his visuals (screens) were crisp and we could see the entire stage with ease (were were floor, but towards the back). It is a nice place to see a show.

Saw Chicago here. Excellent concert. Not a bad seat in the house! Can't wait to go back and see another awesome band.
